The Phoenix Point writing competition is now live. The winning entry will be included in the official lore, featured on the website and in our newsletter. The winner will also receive a Signed Collector’s Edition of Phoenix Point on release.

If we keep burning fossil fuels indefinitely, global warming will eventually melt all the ice at the poles and on mountaintops, raising sea level by 216 feet. Explore what the world’s new coastlines would look like.

This most closely represents the state of the sea level in Phoenix Point

Main character must survive or can it end similarly to Semper Fidelis? EDIT: And can we submit longer stories , even if they will be outside of competition because of that? Why I’m asking. Yesterday I have written brief of my first story and It right now has 1500 words without dialogs or scenery descriptions. And it has few main characters.

That doesn’t stop you from entering. The entries must be in English because that’s the languages that our judges read. Any other language would have to be machine translated, which could result in things being lost in the translation.

Oooohhh, so sweet! I have an idea, and watching that NG map gave me an idea for the setting in which I’ll put my story. Only thing left is to check existing lore to make sure it doesn’t collide. And of course, I’m not an native english speaker, but I think I’ll manage

I will need to rewrite my stories. I wanted to write something similar to what is in the Briefiengs. But contest is about personal stories, without dialogues, without different perspectives of all main characters, without plot twists. There should be one hero of the story and his thoughts about surrounding reality. Still something I can write, but in my opinion less interesting.

Btw. I suppose that hero of the story is alive and this story can’t be his testimony written just before death.

Given that you probably won’t have time to rewrite it, you could (and I still would) submit it. However, if you haven’t followed the brief it will most likely not be a contender for winning. All of the lore in Phoenix Point (except I believe one specific story - because it is following several different groups of people) are all written in the first person. It was done very specifically by our writers.
